Santo is a true professional and a joy to work with. His grasp of what it takes to generate leads, fill a pipeline, close a sale, and motivate a sales team is beyond intuitive. He is a people-first leader who designs sales strategies that deliver net new revenue and light up a sales teams. In my work with Santo it was clear that he is truly vested in his sales team's growth and success. He is driven by his exceptional commitment to customer results, service, and retention. Anyone who is wise enough to make Santo a part of their team will find he makes the days more fun and your bottom line profitable.
